    part of Grucci's "Hands Off Our Kids" (HOOK) initiative

    Grucci decided not to call it the "Hands Off Our Kids, E-Revolutionaries" (HOOKER) initiative, due to lobbying by several groups including "White House Organization for the Reform of Education" (WHORE) and the "Science, Learning, Understanding and Teaching Society" (SLUTS). Members of WHORE and SLUTS were worried that they might become associated with the HOOKER initiative, which both groups do not support.

  2. Cool product idea on Shared Source? · · Score: 3
    I've got an idea for the guys at Think Geek regarding this. You know those red and gold (sometimes red and silver) aluminum Chairman Mao badges (e.g. seen here) the Chinese had back during the Cultural Revolution? Why not make one with the GNU gnu on it instead of Mao? Or what about Tux? Man, that would be cool!

    And no I'm not kidding or trolling. I do believe communism, in theory, is a good idea, and that free software is the only example of communist-like principles done right.

    I wonder if alt.binaries.pictures.erotica.indian-asian will see a decrease in high quality posts now. There's something I find attractive about sari-clad women showing off their goods. Especially the ones where the lady is reaching above her head to grasp the mango branch, all birth-of-buddha like.

  6. Re:I don't like Perl on Exegesis 2: Damian Conway On Perl6 · · Score: 2
    With the exception of the stuff out of an obfuscated perl contest, there hasn't been a single scrap of perl code I haven't been able to understand pretty quickly. In fact, given a chunk of code in perl and the same basic thing in some other language, I would bet my yearly salary that a perl hacker would be able to grok the perl code more quickly than languageX hacker would with the languageX implementation. And I'm not talking about using ready-rolled libraries or modules either. I'd also be willing to bet that these well-seasoned hackers would fare the same if you threw totally different coding styles at 'em.

    At least that's been my experience.
